14 posts. I wondered how long it would take .....Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostYes, he has certainly been making his presence felt during this campaign. He was popping up in all sorts of marginals, standing firmly behind a host of vulnerable candidates, selflessly offering to get right behind them and help thrust them forward whenever he felt their resolve needed stiffening.
Now if it all comes crashing down for him, he can always forge a new career offering mortgage advice and buggering Brazilians.

I saw Mandelscum on the TV last night, next to Eric Pickles and some chappy from the LibDems, slouching in his chair looking utterly sly and arrogant, claiming Gordon has the duty to form a government etc etc.
It actually made me feel physically sick to think what Mandelscum and his cohorts are doing to Britain.
Anyone with any decency would have said “OK, we lost, now and you chaps should start talking about a coalition”, but this hideous slither of primordial slime actually had the temerity to suggest that his party of Gerrymanders and war criminals have a mandate to try and form a government. Don’t say ‘the constitution says this’ because there isn’t a written constitution.

She said that about Michael Howard.Originally posted by portseven View PostAnn Widdicome once said that he had something of the night about him, having watched him over the past few weeks I have to agree with her.
Her words about Mandelson are unprintable.

Mods, how did that word get through the swear filter?Originally posted by NickFitz View PostJust now on the Beeb.
He looked old and tired, and although he stuck to the party line, it was clear that all the enthusiasm was gone: he knew he was defeated.
Given that Mandelson has chosen to play the role of Machiavellian genius, watching him fall was nice

I thought Mandelson came over OK considering he'd been up all night

Any news?
We need the rest of the results to work out whether a Brown lead government is viable with the support of a collection of other politicians.
EDIT: or if a Conservative + Liberal coalition could sink him.
EDIT AGAIN: or if they would even agree to that.
You are probably going to have to wait until Sunday to find out.Last edited by Gonzo; 7 May 2010, 09:07.
